A shopper outside the Debenhams department store which is promoting discounts in Oxford Street, the capital's busiest shopping area, on the eve of Black Friday.  The US phenomenon of discounts for Thanksgiving has now been adopted by many retailers in the UK with several offering discounts during the prior week, instead of on the day itself.  Critics question whether some discounts offered on the day are cheaper than at other times.  Photo credit: Stephen Chung/LNP
